A masterful book that takes the reader on a journey to Monicello, the Whitney Plantation, Angola Prison and more. The book shows how enslaved people built the United States and how the Civil War was fought to keep enslaved people in their place (under the foot of the slave owners). I especially enjoyed how the author interacted with the tour guides and visitors to these historic places.
